I've said this before but only because it's true. EVH is merely a glorified tap guitarist who unfortunately influenced and gave birth to a generation of shred guitarists who have no soul. Machine gun guitar? No thanks.

Who says shred guitarists influenced by EVH cant/dont have soul? Who gets to determine whether a player is soulful or not? Music is subjective, we are all gonna have different ideas re: what is good or bad or mindless wanking or technical brilliance.

If another flamethread re: who is good/not is how to shake things up i say stop shaking ffs.

Well, I'm sure some do. Point being though, too many non-feel shredders were born from EVH. Eddie, IMO, influenced a generation concerned more about speed and technique rather than feel and melody.

How's this; When you get SERIOUS about your guitar playing and really want to express yourself with nuance and soul, ditch your cheap copies, save up and buy a Gibson, Fender or PRS. Otherwise you're not serious or just kidding yourself.
